First of all, a happy new year to you all. I hope you enjoyed the holidays and that everything is well ( Read more... )

It has been way, WAY too long since I last wrote an update, which could mean one of two things: I am not experiencing anything noteworthy, or I am so busy experiencing noteworthy things that I have no time to update. In reality, it's been a mix of the latter option and the fact that it's such a hassle to go to a computer lab everytime I want to ( Read more... )

Today I had another meeting with Svetlana, who presented me with the programme she has made for my year at the ISH. I have to say that it looks really good. Svetlana is encouraging me to make the most of being in Ljubljana, and that means connecting the theme of my research (pornography, technologies and the new media) to the local situation.

Today I met with Svetlana. We had a nice talk and she seems excited about my project. Apparently she has been organizing courses and workshops related to new media and sexuality studies. I also met the head of the media studies department and he told me to call later this week for lunch and to discuss how my project might fit in with the other ( Read more... )
